It is the capital of Kütahya Province, inhabited by some 684,082 people (2007 estimate)

The city's Roman name was Cotyaeum, a name it retains as a titular Catholic see

Modern city & province
The industries of Kütahya have long traditions, going back to ancient times

Kütahya is famous for its kiln products, such as tiles and pottery, which are glazed and multicoloured

Modern industries are sugar refining, tanning, nitrate processing and different products of meerschaum, which is extracted nearby

The local agricultural industry produces cereals, fruits and sugar beet

In addition stock raising is of much importance

Not far from Kütahya there are important mines extracting lignite

Kütahya is linked by rail and road with Balıkesir 250 km (155 mi) to the west, Konya 450 km (280 mi) to the southeast, Eskişehir 70 km (43 mi) northeast and Ankara 300 km (186 mi) east

Kütahya's largest town is Tavşanlı

Kütahya's old neighbourhoods are dominated by traditional Ottoman houses made of wood and stucco, some of the best examples being found along Germiyan Caddesi

The region of Kütahya has large areas of gentle slopes with agricultural land culminating in high mountain ridges to the north and west

The town preserves some ancient ruins, a Byzantine castle and church

During late centuries Kütahya has been renowned for its Turkish earthenware, of which fine specimens may be seen at the national capital

The Kütahya Museum has a fine collection of arts and cultural artifacts from the area

Moreover the Main campus and the Germiyan campus of the Kütahya Dumlupınar University is located in the city

History
3rd millennium BCE: Settled, and known as Kotiaion or Cotyaeum, "the city of the goddess Kotys"

It was an important stopover on the road from the Marmara region to Mesopotamia

12th century BC: Incorporated into the Phrygian kingdom, becoming one of the country's most important cities

Its Greek name was Kotiaion according to its coins, commonly Latinized as Cotyaion, still meaning the city of Cotys

The ancient city became part of the Roman province of Phrygia Salutaris

It was a centre of heresy from the second century onwards

Socrates (IV, xxviii) speaks of its Novatian bishop

At first a simple suffragan of Synnada, it became an autocephalous archbishopric, probably in the eighth century, and about the tenth appears as a metropolis with three suffragan sees, which were later increased to thirteen (?)

Lequien (I, 851) mentions ten bishops, the last in the fourteenth century

The first is Cyrus, sent thither by Theodosius II, after four bishops had been slain by the inhabitants

Around 700 BC: Phrygia collapses, but Kotiaion position as a strong city survives

1071 CE: Conquered by the Seljuks

Around 1095: Conquered by the Crusaders

1182: Reconquered by the Seljuks

1302: Becomes capital of the Germiyan Turkmen principality

It was taken and plundered by Timur-Leng (Tamerlane) in 1402

1428: Becomes part of the Ottoman Empire

1514: Sultan Selim I resettles tile-workers from Tabriz in Kütahya and İznik after defeating the Persians

With this Kütahya emerges as a centre for the Ottoman ceramic industry, producing tiles and faience for mosques, churches and official buildings in places all over the Middle East

19th century: With the fast growth of Eskişehir 70 km away, Kütahya has lost much of its regional and economic importance

It was under Ottoman rule the chief town of a sanjak in the vilayet of Brusa, called by the Turks Kutaya

It had about 22,000 inhabitants, including 4,000 Greeks, 2,300 Armenians, 700 Catholic Armenians, and a few Latins; it contains two schools

It is also the see of a non-Catholic Armenian bishop

Notable people
Aesop, the ancient Greek writer of fables, is believed to have been born in the city

Evliya Çelebi, Turkish globe traveler and author

Lajos Kossuth : Hungarian lawyer, politician and Regent-President of the Kingdom of Hungary in 1849

Komitas Vardapet: Armenian ethnomusicologist, composer and priest (born Soghomon Soghomonian in Kütahya where he spent his childhood years)

Aydilge Sarp, rock singer
